While downtown...

Today I saw a man
painting a murial
on a large  brick wall

The artist was diligent
and crafting
a grand piece of work.

The murial appeared
to be the same exact
scene happening in real life.

I walked to the man
and bravely said,
"Well this is surreal."

He didn't say a word
so I watched him
finish his murial.

The image resembled
something so powerful
that I need to share.

It had the same scene
that was going on
in real life.

The murial inside
of the murial
showed the world

Above the world
was a series of
bold words that said:

"The world is what you make of it."
